Spider eating a mouse

Australian Jason Womal was on his way to work when his neighbour asked if he'd like to see something cool. You don't turn down an offer like that, do you? The something cool turned out to be a Huntsman spider dragging a mouse up - yes we said up - a fridge.

The video he posted of this feat on Facebook weekend has been watched more than 8 million times so far.

Most responses have been shudders of horror.
Mr Womal, however, seems decidedly relaxed about it all. "Ok guys so just letting you all know that the spider is fine. We have named him Hermie, we have adopted him and he is now running his own extermination business out of our town Coppabella. Oh and he is now paying rent," he joked a day later.
Huntsman spiders are native to Australia, Asia and Africa, but have been known to wander to European shores in shipping containers.
Giant Huntsman spiders can get a legspan as large as a foot or if you can't picture that, they can be as large as a dinner plate!
